Sorry for the wait.
Chapter 3
Minami’s POV
After crying my eyes out in my best friend’s arms, I told her I’d be fine. After she had left *ring**ring*
“H-he-hello? Minami speaking.” My voice cracking with every word.
“Hello? Hello, Minami?!” A man spoke over the phone.
“Yes, may I help you with something?”
“It’s me! Your father!” the man was excitedly.
“Ehhh?! Excuse me, but my father’s dead.” What a disrespectful man.
“No, Minami. I’m alive mom just… I mean your grandmother told you that to protect you.”
“What do you mean?” I’m confused. Grandma told me my dad dead in a car accident.
“Mom told you that I dead in a car accident so, you wouldn’t have any contact with me. She wanted you to make your own choice.” My ‘Father’ explained.
“What do you mean my own choice?” I’m hella confused now.
“Okay. Here’s the thing I’m an undercover agent. I don't work for the police directly I work for the Chief of defense, so you would have been in danger if mom hadn’t said that I was dead in order to take custody over you. Ya know corrupted cops and whatnot. Do you understand somewhat?” There’s worry and honesty in his voice.
“Yes, I understand. Please keep going.”
“That’s great to hear. Mom was right you are an understanding person.”
“Grandma did?” I surprised by his comment.
“Yes! It’s not like she hide you from me, who do you think paid for all you girls things. If I remember correctly neither one of you works.”
“Oh! So you’re the person that grandma always talked.”
“Yes. She’s told my so much about you, including the fact that you resemble me.”
“Hey! It’s not my fault for having boyish features.”
“I know.”
“Great now that we got that cleared. What’s choice I have to make thing?”
“Oh, that? You can either choice to stay with the Maeda Family or come with me, but that means you’ll be in danger.” Seriousness showed in his voice.
“What do you mean by come with you and danger?” I asked concerned.
“Well by coming with me you are stating that you want to become an undercover agent. BTW your grandma was a retired undercover agent. One of the best if I may add.”
“What?!”
“Yeah. It’s like the family business. In fact you used to have five uncles until a week ago, but by were assassinated.” That cannot be grandma only gave birth to one child and that’s dad.
“What?!That cannot be you’re an only child”
“Your right, but they were trained by mom as was I. So we became brothers.”
“Oh. So I would continuing the family business if I go with you?”
“Yes, but you won’t be alone.”
“What do you mean?”
“Your cousins, their daughters will be with you cuz I’m taking care of them.”
“Also underage I see.”
“Yupz. Well you have until your grandmother’s funeral. Give me your answer by then. Bye.” *chick* dial-tone.
Did he just hang up on me? Well more importantly. HOW DA HELL AM I GONNA REACH HIM? He didn’t even give me a phone number.
At the Funeral
I haven’t slept in about three days and cried all night last night.
I’m standing here with my grandmother’s picture in hand. I then process to greeting the guests, I stop when I see Atsuko coming towards me but she’s stop by one of my guy friends’ friend. I was about to call out to her but stop when I felt a hand on my shoulder turning me around to see someone who looks a little bit like me.
“Hello, Minami. My, how you’ve grown.” “Hello? And you are?” “I’m your father.” Big Grin “Dad?!”
“Yes.” Nodding “BTW can we go somewhere private?” “Of course, follow me” “Okay”
We’re now in my room at the Maeda Family’s home. “So have you decided?” he asks eagerly. “Yes!”” Great, so what’s your decision?” “I’m going with you.” “Are you sure? What about the Maeda Family? Won’t they be worried?” “Don’t worry Dad I’ll leave them a note.” We got all my stuff and left a note. We arrived at the airport and sat in our seats until our plane took off. “Btw Minami do you know how to fight?” “Yes. Why?” “That’s good.” “Wait. Why?” “U’ll know when we get there.” Crap I’m starting to regret my decision of continuing the family business.
